Explanation of Solution
The business components that are specified in the management framework are referred to as operating segments.
An operating segment is a component of business entity:
• that engages in commercial activities from which it can gain revenues and acquire expenses (including revenues and expenses related to transactions with other components of the same entity),
• whose operating results are periodically checked by the management from a decision-making perspective on the resources to be assigned to the segment and to evaluate its performance, and
• for which separate financial information is available.
An organization shall report information separately on an operational segment that meets any of the following quantitative thresholds:
• Its reported revenues, including both sales to external customers and intersegment sales or transfers, constitute 10% or more of the total revenues, both internal and external, of all operating divisions.
• The absolute amount of its reported profit or loss is 10% or more of the total amount of (i) the combined estimated income of all operating segments that did not report losses and (ii) the combined reported loss of all operating segments that reported losses.
• The assets are 10% or more of the total assets of all operating divisions.
If an operational segment meets any one of the above three quantitative thresholds based on revenues, profit, and assets, it must be disclosed in the footnotes.
The quantitative threshold tests are as follows:
| Revenues | 2017 |
| Media Networks | 43% |
| Parks and Resorts | 33% |
| Studio Entertainment | 15% |
| Consumer Products & Interactive Media | 9% |

| Media Networks | 37% |
| Parks and Resorts | 34% |
| Studio Entertainment | 19% |
| Consumer Products & Interactive Media | 10% |
| 100% |

An operating segment is a component of business entity:
• that engages in commercial activities from which it can gain revenues and acquire expenses (including revenues and expenses related to transactions with other components of the same entity),
• whose operating results are periodically checked by the management from a decision-making perspective on the resources to be assigned to the segment and to evaluate its performance, and
• for which separate financial information is available.
The operating segments of Company, WD's DuPont analysis are as follows:
| Profit Margin | 2017 |
| Media Networks | 29% |
| Parks and Resorts | 20% |
| Studio Entertainment | 28% |
| Consumer Products & Interactive Media | 36% |
| Asset Turnover | |
| Media Networks | 0.72 |
| Parks and Resorts | 0.62 |
| Studio Entertainment | 0.51 |
| Consumer Products & Interactive Media | 0.54 |
| ROA | |
| Media Networks | 21% |
| Parks and Resorts | 12%* |
| Studio Entertainment | 14% |
| Consumer Products & Interactive Media | 19% |
The Media Networks segment reported the highest return on assets for 2017, with a profit margin of 29 per cent and asset turnover of 0.72, reflecting the relative asset intensity of this line of business. Interestingly, there is a higher profit margin in the Consumer Products & Interactive Media segment (i.e. 36 percent), but a much lower asset turnover ratio (i.e., 0.54). This segment, fortunately, represents only 9 per cent of WD's total revenue. The segment Media Networks is the driver of WD's profitability and asset returns, accounting for 43 percent of WD s revenue and 37 percent of WD's assets.

Explanation of Solution
The business components that are specified in the management framework are referred to as operating segments.
An operating segment is a component of business entity:
• that engages in commercial activities from which it can gain revenues and acquire expenses (including revenues and expenses related to transactions with other components of the same entity),
• whose operating results are periodically checked by the management from a decision-making perspective on the resources to be assigned to the segment and to evaluate its performance, and
• for which separate financial information is available.
Definitely, media networks are an important company segment. It represents 47 percent of the operating profit of the company, 43 percent of the company's revenue, and more than 50 percent of the free cash flow of the company. Its financial performance is driven by a profit margin of 29 per cent, second only to the consumer products segment and interactive media. The concern is to what degree a high profit margin can be competed off. A close eye on the market for signs of weakening or increased competitive pressure must be maintained.
